For a few days, the heavy snow stopped from time to time, with the howling north wind and goose feather snow going south together, and the severe cold, after the winter, it has not been how cold, but this snow, the whole state has suddenly cooled down, as if overnight, it will enter the cold season of dripping into ice.

In addition, it is approaching the end of the year, and the soldiers don't have much to do except for the necessary daily drills, but Lu Bu is different, and he is very busy every day.

As a pastor of the state, when he was still stranded in Hedong, the counties under his jurisdiction were too guarded, and he had already rushed to Jinyang to wait. If it was before, the county taishou as a high-ranking official of two thousand stones, he could not have to look at the face of the state assassin to act, but now it is different, the state minister is the top boss of these county taishou, and if it is not pleasing to the eye, he can go to the court and dismiss him.

What's more, these people who can climb to the position of the county taishou are all extremely shrewd, and when there is a farce of three abolitions in the court, they are keenly aware that it is the state pastor who controls their eunuchs, not the imperial court, especially the state pastor with heavy troops, even more so.

Therefore, knowing that Lu Bu was inferior to several county guards in terms of age and qualifications, as soon as they learned the news, they immediately set off to Taiyuan.

There were originally nine counties in the state, and now there are four counties on the edge of the border, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, although the name is still the territory of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, it is already the territory of the Xianbei people, the so-called county is too guarded, and it is just a false name, the remaining five counties, Taiyuan is too guarded by the committee, Shangdang is too guarded by Wang Ze, Yanmen is too guarded by Guo Yun, Shangjun is too guarded by Huyu, and Xihe is too guarded by Cui Jun, these days, Lu Bu has to meet with them almost every day to discuss a matter, especially the "recruitment order", which must be mentioned every time, and the importance is self-evident.

Lu Bu did not have enough talents available at this time, the five Taishou at least had a very correct attitude, and they were full of promises to Lu Bu's orders, especially the Taiyuan Taishou Commission, a few days earlier, as soon as Lu Bu mentioned the "Recruitment Order", he immediately handled it vigorously and resolutely, and now the "Recruitment Order" list has been sent to the counties and townships under its jurisdiction, and this kind of execution is appreciated by Lu Bu.

After several days of intermittent heavy snowfall, the heavy lead clouds in the sky finally dissipated at some point, the blue sky was like a blue curtain, shrouded in the earth, for a whole day, the sun sprinkled a warm hot light, and now, the sun is already setting in the west, the glow is all over the sky, reflecting on the white snow, adding more whiteness.

The four fields are quiet, and even the north wind seems to be gentle, and I can't bear to blow through the tranquility between heaven and earth.

Ten miles outside Taiyuan City, a team waited quietly on the avenue, led by Bingzhou Mu Lu Bu, who followed him to greet Cai Yong here, as well as the county guards who had not yet left, and in a carriage behind them, there was Cai Yan who insisted on coming to greet her father, and her personal maid Cai Qian.

Everyone had been waiting here for half an hour, and in the distance, a small group of people could be seen slowly approaching here.

It was Cai Yong, a famous man in the world, who set out from Luoyang, went through hardships, and was delayed by heavy snow in the past few days, and arrived in Taiyuan a few days later than originally expected.

Dozens of horsemen escorted the three carriages to stop slowly, Lu Bu strode to meet them, just when the first carriage had just lifted the curtain, he had already stood in front of the door, stretched out his hand to support Cai Yong, and said with a smile: "Cai Weng is here, Bu is very honored......

"Where's Yan'er?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "My sister is in the carriage, and since she set off in Hedong, she has been thinking about Cai Weng and his wife. ”

Cai Yong's eyes were red, he nodded at Lu Bu, didn't say anything, turned his head to look over, and saw several people coming up, among them only recognized Xihe Taishou Cui Jun, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhou Ping, this is ......"

"Cai Weng!"

Cui Jun stepped forward, bowed to the ground, and called respectfully, "Make Jun Xin arrive, all colleagues gather in Jinyang, I heard that Cai Weng is coming, and they are all overjoyed. ”

Cai Yong was so moved again that he choked up, of course he knew that the county guards were not waiting for him here, but they could go out of the city ten miles together to greet themselves who were waiting for their sinful bodies, and this affection was still real.

With Cui Jun by his side, he introduced Wang Ze and others to Cai Yong one by one, while Lu Bu supported Cai Yong with a smile on his face, unaware of the abruptness of doing so with his current status.

After seeing everyone, Cai Yong raised his head, and suddenly saw a pretty figure standing a few steps in front of him, dressed in an elegant plain dark coat, with a gray fur coat on his head, and a mink hat on his head, his skin was white and greasy, almost comparable to the snow around him, his eyes were red, and he looked at it with tears in his eyes, it was his baby daughter Cai Yan.

"Yan'er ......"

Cai Yong called softly, his feet were soft, he couldn't move his feet, two lines of hot tears rolled down, endless worries, endless thoughts, and finally melted into a soft call full of warmth.

The father and daughter just looked at each other, each speechless and crying.

"Yan'er ......"

At this time, a low call came from behind Cai Yong, and a gust of fragrant wind passed over Cai Yong and Lu Bu, and pounced on Cai Yan, who was Cai Yong's wife.

Although she is not Cai Yan's biological mother, Cai Yan was raised by her, and the relationship between mother and daughter has always been very good.

Lu Bu supported Cai Yong to take a few steps closer and comforted: "Cai Weng, aunt, sister, this, the wind is strong in the wild, and Aunt Cai Weng has come from afar, the carriage is tired, and the hour is not early, so let's get in the carriage first, and catch up on the old days while hurrying." ”

A word woke up the dreamer, Cai Yan exclaimed in a low voice, glanced at Lu Bu, bowed slightly, and helped his mother to board the carriage she and Cai Qian were riding.

The two teams merged and set off for Taiyuan, Lu Buke did not have the habit of riding a carriage, turned over on the horse, and accompanied Cai Yong's carriage.

After walking a hundred or so steps, Lu Bu asked Cai Yong through the curtain of the car: "Cui Xihe (PS: that is, Cui Jun, the word Zhouping) seems to be Cai Weng's old acquaintance?" ”

"Zhou Ping is the son of the old friend Cui Taiwei, and his uncle Mr. Zhen, who is a great Confucian in the world, wrote "Dongguan Hanji", and the old man used to read it when he was in Lantai."

Cai Yong's voice came out through the curtain, a little dull and hoarse, Lu Bu scratched his head very depressedly, and muttered, "Captain Cui?" Mr. Zizhen? ”

Fortunately, for an idiotic question like Lu Bu, Cai Yong was in a good mood and answered patiently.

"Cui Taiwei is a famous martyr, since Wei Kao, when Dong Gong entered Luoyang, it was Cui Taiwei who was already at home to escort the emperor and King Hongnong out of the North Mountain, Mr. Zizhen is famous, talented, loyal and filial piety, when he was famous all over the world, the old man also visited."

"Cui Lie, Cui Yu ......"

Lu Bu was still confused, muttering these two names in a low voice, and at the same time searching his stomach to review the [Book of the Later Han] that he remembered, but the era they lived in was far from the Three Kingdoms period of the late Han Dynasty that Lu Bu was most interested in, and Zuihou still found nothing.

However, the Cui family is the surname of the family, this point, Lu Bu is still very clear, the real glory of the Cui family is in the Tang Dynasty after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, in the five surnames and seven wangs, the Cui family is recognized as "the world's first high family, the head of the northern wealthy family." ”

However, Lu Bu didn't know very well, what was the relationship between the Cui clan in his memory and Cui Jun in front of him, as well as Cui Lie and Cui Wei in Cai Yong's mouth, but he couldn't ask Cai Yong for verification at this time, so he had to keep this question in his heart.

But since Cui Jun's father was an official to the Tai Lieutenant, and his uncle is a famous man in the world, presumably the younger generations of the Cui family still have some talents, and Lu Bu also made up his mind that Cui Jun must recommend some talents.

In addition to him, there are also Wang Ze and Guo Yun.

Wang Ze is the descendant of the Jinyang Wang family, his brother Wang Rou, who once served as the general of the Huns, and Situ Wang Yun tried to recruit Guo Tai, the leader of the Baibo thieves, through him. Guo Yun is a descendant of the Guo family, his uncle Guo Linzong, but even Lu Bu has heard everyone mention it with great reverence from time to time.

Through the two of them, they can recruit some talents from the Jinyang Wang family and the Jiexiu Guo family.

After making up his mind, Lu Bu was also relieved, and as the war horse swayed slowly, suddenly, his whole body stiffened, his eyes straightened, and he muttered: "Zhou Ping, Cui Zhou Ping, Cui Zhou Ping, it turned out to be him?!" ”
